The short version

Each has a real cost: Findem no pricing is published anywhere, not even an entry tier, so a buyer cannot size cost without going through a full sales and demo process first; JobAdder there is no native pay and bill chain, so contract staffing agencies must buy and integrate a separate timesheet and invoicing system and reconcile two sources of placement data.
They diverge on capability: Findem covers Pre-aggregated candidate data, JobAdder covers Job posting.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Findem

No pricing is published anywhere, not even an entry tier, so a buyer cannot size cost without going through a full sales and demo process first
Claims about data freshness and the value of pre-aggregated versus live-queried candidate data are not independently verifiable from public material
The broader product surface, talent marketing, executive search and embedded AI, means a buyer evaluating sourcing alone may end up paying for a platform built around adjacent modules they do not need
As with any aggregated-data sourcing tool, coverage and accuracy vary by role type and geography, and cannot be confirmed for a specific niche role before purchase
The agentic automation features are newer than the core sourcing product and have less of an independent track record to evaluate against competitors
Lack of a self-serve or trial tier means switching away from an existing sourcing tool involves real sales-cycle time before a team can even confirm Findem fits their workflow

JobAdder

There is no native pay and bill chain, so contract staffing agencies must buy and integrate a separate timesheet and invoicing system and reconcile two sources of placement data.
The product is strongest inside the SEEK footprint, and buyers in North America or continental Europe get weaker board coverage while paying the same per user rate.
Analytics beyond standard activity and placement reporting require an add-on, which turns a competitive headline price into a higher effective one for data-driven agencies.
Pricing is per user per month by quote with annual commitment, so agencies with fluctuating consultant headcount carry licences through quiet quarters.
Support and product hours run on Australian time, meaning European and American customers frequently wait overnight for a response to anything the documentation does not answer.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Findem: Is there a free trial or self-serve tier?

No, Findem requires a demo request; no self-serve or trial access is published.

JobAdder: Who owns JobAdder?

SEEK, the Australasian job board operator, has held a majority stake since 2016, which is why the SEEK integration is deeper than a normal partnership.

Findem: Is any pricing published?

No, all pricing is quote-only after a sales conversation.

JobAdder: Does it handle contractor timesheets and invoicing?

Not natively. It integrates with dedicated pay and bill systems such as Astute Payroll, which adds a second vendor and contract.

Findem: What makes Findem different from a tool like SeekOut?

Findem emphasises a pre-aggregated, continuously enriched data set with inferred career-trajectory attributes, versus tools that query external platforms more directly at search time.

JobAdder: Is it suitable outside Australia?

Yes, and it has a real UK customer base, but board coverage and support hours are calibrated to APAC.

JobAdder: How long is implementation?

Days to a few weeks for most agencies, which is its main advantage over the heavier agency platforms.
